The Post Promotion Tools I Use

I haven't done a post like this one for awhile so I thought it was a good idea to start the new year out with one. I had been leasing Steem Power through Minnow Booster but that market has dried up more than a lake in the Eastern Sierra's being Stolen by southern California.

When I was able to lease as much Steem Power as I wanted I was using Steem Follower and that was pretty much it. Now I'm back to a hodgepodge of different upvote services. I think spreading the love around is a good idea. That way if one goes down(or rogue like Belly Rub did) you won't have been putting all your eggs in one basket. Let's dive in shall we?





I've belong to @qurator for awhile now and it's a great community beyond the up votes. There is an application process and fee. You need to go onto discord and contact one of the mods. Then send the two Steem application fee. Your account will be reviewed and if approved your application fee goes toward Steem Power for up votes. If you are declined the fee is returned(usually shit posters and spammers are the ones that get declined).

Once you are in there are tiers. Up voting the daily post can get you as high as tier 2. I pay 10 steem every 40 days to be at the top tier, tier 5, and find it worth it. It's a positive ROI and goes a long way toward helping me get on the hot list with each post. Currently the up vote is worth $1.04 and there is a trail of votes that add to it as well.











Yes folks the originator is back and so far he is better than ever. You can buy an instant upvote from 0.50SBD to 5.0SBD in 0.50SBD increments. I've used him twice since he's come back and the ROI has been very good. Now that I've built up some returns on my posts again I'll probably be sending him some SBD's on a near daily basis.





The new kid on the block has come out swinging with really good ROI. It's also got a big brother called SmartSteem that is white list only. This is an instant upvote bot like Randowhale or Minnowbooster. Send SBD and memo your post. I've applied to be added to the white list and I'm waiting to hear back. The most I've sent so far is 5SBD which seems to be about as much as the little brother can handle.





Yes Minnowbooster is still around. It relies on third party voters mostly now, as do SmartMarket and Randowhale for that matter. It seems that is the new business model. It works well at the moment so I have no complaints. Minnowbooster now promises a 35% ROI after curation and my test votes I've bought so far confirm this. I'll be mixing them in along with Rando and SmartMarket.





Steemfollower is still a great tool for Steem. With it being so hard to lease Steem Power right now it's not the shiny nickel it once was but as part of an over all post promotion plan its a good tool none the less. The more steem power you have the more central it can be in that promotion plan. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a vote exchange site where you get votes for up voting others and in exhange others upvote you to get points.

There you have it. My current tricks of the trades when it comes to post promotion on Steemit. Now where is that damn drone at! @minnowsupport is the most helpful group for the little guy on Steemit. There slogan really should be come for the upvote stay for the community. Every twelve hours or more you can call on upvotes from both the minnow support bot and good old banjo. There are other bots, too. For instance I'm delegating 100 steem power to the MSP creativebot and in return I receive upvotes from both that bot and the love bots. These bots often have trails attached to them as well.
